Series OF Suicides.

The recent suicide of Lieut.. Danen-
hover at Annapolis is believed by
friends here TO have been first suQ-
gested TO his diseased mind by the
death OF his near friend. Lieut.. Robert
w Galewood, who committed suicide
on the Norfolk boat wee < ago. This
made the fourth case in the last two
years where young Naval Academy
graduates have killed themselves.
The other cases were those OF Cadet
Schock of Pennsylvania. who on the
eve OF graduation at the Royal College
in Greenwich, England, shot himself.
and Cadet f. c. Ridder, who blew his
brains out while taking the prescribed
two years course in the United States
steamer Swatara- In few more days
Schock would have become an Assis-
tant Naval Constructor. Another
instance may be cited where an over
worked brain has been the Immediate
cause OF death ir that of young Smosk
ol South Carolina. Smoak was poor
fellow who worked on q farm near
Annapolis at SO month to pay his
entrance Tee. He entered in May, did

found deficient III studies at the follow

had until June TO make up the edeficieny,
